OSU Lantern – Ohio State has won 15 straight games over Indiana, including a 33-14 shellacking in Bloomington, Ind., one year ago. With this year’s OSU squad ranked No. 2 in the country, it would appear as though Saturday’s match-up should produce yet another IU beatdown.
Lightning strikes twice, Moeller out for second straight season
OSU Lantern – Tyler Moeller is no stranger to bad luck. Perhaps that’s how he knew more of it was coming when he suited up to play Illinois on Saturday. While the senior defensive back was pulling up his uniform pants, he could feel a tweak on the left side of his chest that had bothered him since partially tearing his left pectoral muscle in 2008.
Ohio State’s Professor Tressel delivers the do’s and don’ts of coaching Plain Dealer Columbus, Ohio — You REALLY don’t want to be late for one particular early morning, twice-a-week class at The Ohio State University. The professor has a history of making most of his students run laps or do push-ups or some other physical activity. That’s the expected, if the unexpected is that this particular professor is one Jim Tressel, the $3.5 million a year head football coach of the Buckeyes.

Pryor will be back, but Moeller lost for season Chicago Tribune
Buckeyes’ Tyler Moeller unsurprised by season-ending injury: Ohio State Insider Plain Dealer When Tyler Moeller tore his left pectoral muscle against Illinois on Saturday, he knew it immediately because the Ohio State defensive back estimates he’d torn it about a dozen times before. This one was a full tear, though, which is why he’ll undergo surgery at 11 a.m. Wednesday that will end his 2010 football season. Everyone knows Moeller missed last season because of an off-field head injury. What most did not know was that Moeller had been basically tackling one-handed since the 2008 season.

What’s in a grade? Despite on-field success, Terrelle Pryor has never earned a ‘winning performance’
OSU Lantern – Quarterback Terrelle Pryor, 24-3 as a starter, has never delivered a performance worthy of a win in the eyes of his coaches. These individual “losing” efforts include a game in which he completed 20 of 26 passes and accounted for six touchdowns and another that saw him earn Rose Bowl MVP honors.
OSU breathes little sigh of relief Tribune We kind of got that momentum going with the two-back looks,” Tressel said of his conservative approach after Pryor went out with a strained left thigh muscle. “If there was a moment where we felt like, ‘Hey, we needed to do something movement-wise with Terrelle to make the difference in the game,’ we would have (done it). But we just didn’t see the need.

Buckeyes say Pryor shouldn’t be limited Dispatch Three days after Terrelle Pryor’s left leg popped in Champaign, it appears the Ohio State quarterback is going to be just fine. According to three offensive players, Pryor did not appear limited at all in practice last night, the first since he suffered strained quadriceps Saturday at Illinois.

OSU running backs friends, not rivals The Dispatch If Ohio State football fans are debating feverishly over which tailbacks should play more, think what it must be like when those players get together every Thursday night for pizza and wings. “We usually just watch a game,” junior Daniel Herron said. “Sometimes we maybe talk about who we might be playing against, talk about different little schemes or whatever. We talk about football pretty much the whole time we’re all together.” That’s the point: They are all together, he said. Players from other positions are welcome – and some offensive linemen, receivers and
